- Title
Creep-fatigue life assessment of boiler tubes at detuning strap connections.

- Abstract
The article presents a paper regarding the creep-fatigue damage of boiler tubes at detuning straps welded to tailpipes to reduce vibrations. It mentions that a higher accumulated creep-fatigue damage will occur if there were any increase in local strain range imposed by the detuning straps. It states that the shutdown cycles and inter-phase thermo-mechanical boiler stress cycles generate relatively low stress rangers as evident in the finite element analysis.
